A fresh and brash young voice on the comedy scene, Ali Wong will appear in concert Saturday night at Walsh University.

Named a “comic to watch” by Comedy Central and Variety, she has appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” in the Oliver Stone film “Savages,” was a cast member in the short-lived NBC sitcom “Are You There Vodka, It’s Me Chelsea,” and is a featured roundtable comic on the E! show “Chelsea Lately.”

Q. Do you feel any prejudice against female comedians on the club circuit?

A. “I really don’t. Because I don’t drink, I would say that is more isolating than being a woman. Being a sober person, I don’t stay out with the guys and get into shenanigans that will bond us for life and inspire some hit movie that will make millions. But that’s my lifestyle choice. It’s not about race or gender. It’s all up to you now. I think now more than ever, people have the opportunity to succeed and get discovered because of the Internet.”

Q. Would people who knew you growing up be surprised that you are a standup comedian?

A. “Yeah, and all of them know at this point. I’m from San Francisco and I started there and it’s a very small community and people started coming to my shows right away. They all found out very quickly.”

Q. Would you describe your act as very adult humor?

A. “It’s like really filthy. There’s a lot about bad sex and how men don’t know what they’re doing in bed. It’s almost like a funny sex-ed lesson.”

Q. Do you play a lot of college shows?

A. “I do. College kids are pretty open-minded, which is good, and they’re fun to perform for, but in other respects it can be challenging because they’ve like never paid a bill.”
